Discuss. Out May 9th, only FOUR [EDIT: changed from three, nice math skillz jackass] days after Captain Sly turns the big 1-8, to be accompanied by the greatest pizza ever.
So having just received Beyond Pink (by Rubyblue, not Barbie) in the mail, I notice belatedly that "Girl Most Likely To" was co-written by Nina Osoff, who also co-wrote "That's What Girls Do" (the Rubyblue version of which just barely kicks No Secrets' butt). But I won't post that one. Instead I'll go for what is, after only two listens or so, one of many stand-outs.
Rubyblue - Through the Rain: Pre-dates Josie and the Pussycats-style teenpop transition to hard-edge powerpop by a few years with some lyrical themes that would travel right on through to...well, Pink for one. "Because of your pain/ I see right through the rain/ I see right through the thunder clouds/ Beause you crushed my faith/ And then left me to blame/ I still hate you all the same/ I see through the rain" -- wow, listening now I'm seeing the set-up to "Since U Been Gone"... HELLO AGAIN. YOU STILL SUCK. THANKS FOR SHOWING ME WHAT GETTING FUCKED OVER BY SOME JERK FEELS LIKE SO MAYBE I CAN AVOID IT IN THE FUTURE. NO I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY OF THE MONEY I MAKE OFF OF THIS SONG.
Only thing missing is that Max Martin soaring chorus. Or soarus. Damn, this is one fine little powerpop album. Shame to see something like this basically fade away without proper release. But you can still get it used for 2 bucks, thirteen left so get it while you can, this item is predicted to SELL OUT.
And here's a word from guest blogger Jimmy Draper about a solo project from a former A*Teen, Marie Serneholt - That's the Way My Heart Goes:
the chorus is sooooo teenpop circa '99
Yeah.
